What will I be when I grow up???

Probably not a gardener!! We went to Publix today to pick up some things and to get a housewarming gift for my friend Margaret. I picked out a small peace lily and put it in the back of the shopping cart-you would have thought that the peace lily was a spider the way Spencer reacted. He would have NOTHING to do with that peace lily and wanted out of the cart. I tried to reassure him and have his touch the leaf BUT NO!! He just wanted to protest loudly to the existence of said peace lily. I had to act fast to divert his attention so I picked up a new tootbrush and showed it to him. He was Coo-Coo for that! To the point that he would not give it to the cashier to check out. Again, protesting loudly....then he remembered the man eating peace lily in the back of the cart and all heck broke loose. The cashier graciously swiped the drooled on, half eaten packaging of the toothbrush and handed it back to protesting child. (thank you Publix's cashier lady) I'm still having visions of "Little Shop of Horrors"-where there is a CRAZY dentist and a man eating plant "FEED ME SPENCER! FEED ME!"
If your curious-the peace lily got delivered, the toothbrush made it out alive and Spencer is sleeping soundly having finished his protesting for the day...
"FOR TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY!!"

Decatur Beach Party

Last night Kate and I took the boys to the Decatur Beach Party. As you can see from the pictures-we had so much fun. Basically, they block off a section of the Decatur square and dump a TON of sand on the street. It's like a HUGE sandbox with 300 kids, mommies and daddies. The mommies/daddies are trying not to spill their "adult beverages"-Kate wasn't so successful at this! Anyway, there is music, food, games for kids, beer and of course-SAND!! The boys had a blast. James wanted to explore and Spencer tried REALLY hard to scoop all the sand out of the baby pool. He finally gave up and just climbed in and out 1,000 times. Notice the yellow armband on Spencer in some of these pics-HIS FIRST PARTY ARMBAND!!! Kate and I have made big plans to return next year!!!





Best Friends Forever...




Touchdown....Finally!!!!

So...I finally figured out how to download videos. This video is a few months old-but it's so fun. Guess who the person is OFF camera trying to be a speech therapist and get Spencer to imitate words???

More Videos

More Videos....Spencer laughing at his BFF-Hailey

As you can see from these pictures-Spencer's life is SO exciting these days....he is so excited to be eating mandrin oranges that he fell asleep. He has also discovered how exciting laundry can be. He is such a big help, he loves to throw my underwear out of the basket and see how Hailey will react. After the first few "panty raids" Hailey decided that outside was much more thrilling.
We do have some good news! My grandfather (Paw-Paw) got to go home after being in the hospital/rehab unit for a month recovering from heart surgery. Paw-Paw, we are so glad you are home and hope you are enjoying your own bed, your own chair and your computer!!
Nothing much else go on...enjoying have some time off this summer. It's been SO hot that we spend all the free time we have in the pool-which Spencer LOVES!!
